Today's Quordle Hints (and Answer) for Friday, August 15, 2025
If you're looking for the Quordle answer for Friday, August 15, 2025, read on—I'll share some clues, tips, and strategies, and finally the solution. Beware, there are spoilers below for August 15, Quordle #1299! Keep scrolling if you want some hints (and then the answer) to today's Quordle game. (If you play Wordle, Connections, or Strands, check out our hints for those games, too.) How to play Quordle Quordle lives on the Merriam-Webster website. A new puzzle goes live every day. If you've never played, it's a twist on The New York Times' daily Wordle game, in which you have a limited number of attempts to guess a five-letter mystery word. In Quordle, though, you're simultaneously solving four Wordle-style puzzles, and each of your guesses gets applied to the four puzzles simultaneously. Due to the increased difficulty, Quordle grants you nine guesses (12 if you play on 'Chill' mode, or eight if you play on 'Extreme'), rather than Wordle's six. To start, guess a five-letter word. The letters of the word in each of the four quadrants will turn green if they're correct, yellow if you have the right letter in the wrong place, or gray if the letter isn't in that secret word at all. Ready for the hints? Let's go! Can you give me a hint for today's Quordle? Upper left: Ocean mammal. Upper right: Light refractor. Lower left: Duck. Lower right: Conical home. Does today's Quordle have any double or repeated letters? Upper left: No. Upper right: No. Lower left: No. Lower right: Yes, a repeated vowel. What letters do today's Quordle words start with? Upper left: W Upper right: P Lower left: D Lower right: T What letters do today's Quordle words end with? Upper left: E Upper right: M Lower left: E Lower right: E What is the solution to today's Quordle? Upper left: WHALE Upper right: PRISM Lower left: DRAKE Lower right: TEPEE How I solved today's Quordle I'll start with SLATE and MOUND, as I always do. DRAPE might fit the bottom left. One off. The only thing I can think of is DRAKE. OK! The upper right is probably PRISM. Yep. Maybe there's a second E in the upper left, for a word like LEAVE. Nope. That second E worked for the bottom right, though! OK, so the upper left ends in ALE. WHALE? Yep. This last word has to go T-E-P-blank-E, I think. What the heck? Oh, it's TEPEE. The best starter words for Quordle What should you play for that first guess? We can look to Wordle for some general guidelines. The best starters tend to contain common letters, to increase the chances of getting yellow and green squares to guide your guessing. (And if you get all grays when guessing common letters, that's still excellent information to help you rule out possibilities.) There isn't a single 'best' starting word, but The New York Times's Wordle analysis bot has suggested starting with one of these: CRANE TRACE SLANT CRATE CARTE Meanwhile, an MIT analysis found that you'll eliminate the most possibilities in the first round by starting with one of these: SALET REAST TRACE CRATE SLATE Other good picks might be ARISE or ROUND. Words like ADIEU and AUDIO get more vowels in play, but you could argue that it's better to start with an emphasis on consonants, using a starter like RENTS or CLAMP. Choose your strategy, and see how it plays out. Solve the daily Crossword

Today's NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Friday, August 15
In case you missed Thursday's NYT Mini, you can find the answers here: The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper's larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays. Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you'll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives. The NYT Mini is a fun daily distraction that usually takes no time at all. I try to beat the standard weekday grid in less than a minute. But sometimes I can't quite figure out one or two clues and need to reveal the answer. To help you avoid doing that, here are the NYT Mini Crossword answers (spoilers lie ahead, of course): FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers ACROSS 1) Answer to a party invitation - RSVP 5) Bring to a bubble - BOIL 6) With 8-Across, tree that produces nearly two-foot-long cones - SUGAR 8) See 6-Across - PINE 9) Enjoy a hill in chilly weather, say - SLED DOWN 1) N.F.L. ball carriers, for short - RBS 2) Campbell's products - SOUPS 3) Candlelight ___ - VIGIL 4) It travels the high way - PLANE 7) Like the maple leaf on Canada's flag - RED Sort of an off-season winter theme here between sledding, pine trees and soup, which you would eat inside when it's cold. Meanwhile, it's 90 degree where I am, which doesn't really narrow it down, given that it's roughly 90% of the country at all times now. I didn't actually know what a Sugar Pine was, but now I want to find some of those giant pinecones. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.

Doja Cat Reveals ‘Vie' Release Date While Speaking French in Parisian Album Trailer
Doja Cat is putting her French lessons to use, as the Grammy-winning artist revealed the release date for her upcoming Vie album. Doja posted a trailer for the project on social media on Thursday (Aug. 14), which found her leaning into cosplaying a mademoiselle while speaking French (Vie translates to Live in English). More from Billboard Doja Cat Defends Her Position as a Rapper During Fan Debate: 'Please Stop Trying to Downplay My Ability' Taylor Swift's Debut on Travis Kelce's 'New Heights' Podcast Instantly Smashes Ratings Records 'The City Loves Him': Inside MGK's Emotional Homecoming, As Cleveland Celebrates MGK Day and His 'Lost Americana' Album 'Je sais que tu es ma vie Vie out 9/26,' she captioned the cinematic clip, positioning her album for a Sept. 26 arrival. The video finds Doja in various sophisticated outfits as she changes from Black lace to white fur and a sparkling diamond ballroom gown. One shot even finds Doja in couture in front of the Eiffel Tower during a recent trip to Paris. 'You're here?' she says while the camera pans to another version of herself. 'Of course I am,' Doja replies while taking a bite of her croissant. Fans were excited to hear a firm release date for the long-awaited album, which is Doja's first since 2023's Scarlet. 'AHH WE ARE SATTTTT,' one person wrote. While another added: 'Yesss Ms. Doja Jones!!!' Earlier this month, Doja Cat teased her upcoming 'Jealous Type' single, which will set the table for the album. The teaser came with a phone number for a Vie hotline, while callers were greeted by Doja playing the role of romance therapist. 'Jealous Type' is slated to be released on Aug. 21 at 8 p.m. ET. Doja Cat hasn't released any singles this year and has been tight-lipped about the project, but revealed in her V Magazine cover story in July that it's a 'pop-driven' effort. 'I do want to be self-aware enough to admit the fact that this is a pop-driven project,' she said at the time. 'I know that I can make pop music, and pop is just that it's popular. It starts to become a bit of a thing that's viewed as a sport by people who are just bystanders to it, who enjoy it, but maybe also don't respect it or what it is, which is just music … They see it as if this is some kind of football for girls and gays.'
